Lynn Brown, 55, address unknown, was charged in a two-count indictment returned by a federal grand jury in Kansas City, Mo.
Today’s indictment alleges that Brown stole $2,000 from Commerce Bank, 118 W. 47th Street in Kansas City, Mo., on May 10, 2014.
Brown is also charged with stealing $1,900 from Bank of America, 1104 S.W. 7 Hwy., in Blue Springs, Mo., on May 20, 2014.
